#6 – The Notebook
For me, some of the most powerful love stories are the ones where the pair overcomes seemingly insurmountable obstacles to be together. This is one of those stories. This movie can’t be boiled down to one scene or one moment. It is the whole thing, from start to finish. The absolute love these two have for each other is quite something. Nothing could change it, shake it, or make it go away. The whole of creation can be seen in each other’s eyes, so that not even separation, sickness or death could diminish it. If you have not seen this movie, do yourself a favor and watch it. But beware and have some tissues on hand, you will need them. If you don’t you will want to check your pulse because you might be dead. If you have seen this movie, then there is really nothing else I can say about it.
Although I will end this installment with one quote from the last letter he wrote Allie:
Noah: My Dearest Allie. I couldn't sleep last night because I know that it's over between us. I'm not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever. I love you. I'll be seeing you. Noah
God, even just reading that makes me misty in the eye.
